2. Due to the survey’s results, Polish students are in favour of travelling and active tourism like hiking connected with sightseeing and rediscovering of our ancestors past. Therefore, we will organize active ways of spending free time connected with educational parts of sightseeing and travelling.
3. Polish teens appreciate homemade food, therefore during gastronomy workshops we will apply regional cuisine prepared in a healthy way.
4. Due to the fact that they spend too much time in front of the TV and computer screens we will organize other active forms of activities to broaden our students’ interests, we will promote our local tourism among teens and their families.
